Summary
Double Crossed examines how American missionaries became intelligence agents for the United States during World War II. Matthew Avery Sutton reveals how these religious workers, already stationed in strategic locations worldwide, provided valuable espionage services to the OSS and other intelligence agencies. The book explores the tension between their spiritual calling and secret government work, documenting how they gathered information, aided resistance movements, and navigated the moral complexities of serving both God and country during wartime. Sutton draws on declassified documents to illuminate this little-known chapter of American religious and military history.
